What I'm looking for

I seek a leadership role in SOC or enterprise security where I can drive SOC modernization, automation, and measurable incident response improvements while mentoring teams and ensuring compliance.

I am a cybersecurity executive with 9+ years leading global 24×7 SOC operations, SIEM/SOAR deployments, Zero Trust implementations, and endpoint security across hybrid cloud environments. I have a strong record of operational improvements — achieving 100% log coverage, reducing MTTR by up to 40%, and delivering executive reporting to C‑suite and boards.

I lead SOC modernization, automation, and compliance initiatives aligned to NIST and ISO 27001, and have driven measurable outcomes in vulnerability management, incident response playbooks, and SOC productivity. I build and mentor high‑performing teams, integrate threat intelligence across APAC/EMEA/US, and prioritize continuous improvement and audit readiness.
